How much of a hassle is it to install one piece side windows and is it worth it .

If your car is going to live outside definitely dont do it.
It is really hard to get it looking and sealing propper in the front bottom corner.
I have seen a few that look good and seal tight, but the standard kits need a LOT of modifying

I still like them.
They are a lot of work to install but with electric motors they can be easier. I have done several sets and it is crucial to get the outside scraper
right.
Need to paint the inside of the door well to allow for leaks and keep the drain holes in the bottom of the doors clear.
Up to you how much you want the look of one piece windows, the factory did them in the very early days!!!
Happy to talk you thru the different alternatives.
Cheers,
David

Glad i asked the question before i purchased the windows.
They look real good and don't cost a fortune but i wont be getting them now.
